How to send a literal tilde ~ inside a hotstring? Topic is solved

[yasqueenslay]

Hi,

I have the following hotstring in an AHK file:

Code: Select all

::pathf::for %A IN ("%PATH:;=" "%") DO @ECHO=%[b]~A[/b] | Find /I "Python"

Problem is that what actually gets written is

Code: Select all

for %A IN ("%PATH:;=" "%") DO @ECHO=%[b]Ã[/b] | Find /I "Python" 

The difference being that ~A turns into Ã. Is there any way to have the end result be with ~A? (so literally the same string as in the hotstring) Is there some sort of escape character I can use? Tried \~A but that didn't do the trick

Thanks!

Can't reproduce, but try the Text option (AHK v1.1.27+):

Code: Select all

:T:pathf::for %A IN ("%PATH:;=" "%") DO @ECHO=%~A | Find /I "Python"
